Adobe comments on PageMaker for Mac OS X

Adobe's Terry White has commented on the lack of Carbon compatibility in the release of Adobe PageMaker 7.0, which was announced as shipping today: "It was...stated in our initial OS X commitment that the next versions of PageMaker and FrameMaker would *NOT* be carbonized. Both products are older code bases and it will take more effort to Carbonize them." An Adobe representative revealed earlier this week that the first two Adobe products released for Mac OS X would be InDesign and Illustrator.

    Strange

    It seems strange that Framemaker would be difficult to carbonize considering that I was using Framemaker v3 on a NeXT system back in 1993. So unless all the code that Adobe added after taking control of Framemaker turned a perfectly good NeXT program into "older code base" it seems little disingenious to use this as an excuse.

    It's hardly 1993 anymore. It would probably take as much effort to port the NeXT version as it would the OS 9 version.

    If Adobe would have been more clear on it's plans to begin with there would have been less whinning.

    It's my feeling that NeXTstep is/was an exceptionally well-engineered system and that bringing code forward from NeXTstep to Mac OS X might be difficult but straightforward work.

    Other programs that I used in 1995: Mesa, Omniweb, Adobe Illustrator, and Altsys Freehand. I also used an exceptional equation editor called EquationBuilder (coded up by a friend of mine while he was a graduate student---which speaks volumes of his intelligence and/or the power of NeXTstep). I miss those beautiful black boxes.
